Another perfect morning, left shortly after seven with two eager canines. Overshot Lexington by a few blocks and got the dogs some extra off-leash time, a total of almost non-stop freedom over 4.6 km today. Honeysuckle is blossoming encountered two species, Lonicera maackii (Amur H.) and possibly L. tatarica (Tartarian H.), both invasives. The smell good in spite of that. Dogs couldn't help to jump in some mucky ponds and ditches. Didn't matter because I spent another 1:30 hrs outdoors after I got home, planting out tomatoes and other flowers and veggies. They were dry by the time we headed in around 10:30.

After a late lunch at L'Etoile du Nord, a beautiful hike to take at St.Croix Valley bridge construction progress. If Hwy 36 doesn't get too busy as a consequence of this new route, this may be a new way to start the trip to the cabin.

Fun meeting Peggy and Joel at Black Stack. Never realized that the real reason so many cars were parked there was not the brewery but Lala Land. Now I know where that is, too. Lynn joined us a little later and after we were finished with beverages and fries and nachos from a food truck, we toured Lala land, where the Dangerous Polka Band was just setting up. Also there were neighbors Bree and tom with their little boy. Great way to start the weekend.

Heading to Crooked Pint Ale House to celebrate Stephanie C's World Loppet Gold Master (finishing 10 long loppet races in participating countries). Beautiful late afternoon for a ride. Had made some adjustments, bringing the pedals in by about 1.5 cm and tilting the handlebars forward 15 degrees. Makes a big difference. Fun time with a few fellow skiers.

After good dinner and conversation time to ride home to make it before darkness. . The hill W of Rice was the only time I had to get off the large chain ring. Nice chat with my neighbor chris before I pulled into the garage.

Looks like the warm weather is here to stay, spring giving way to summer, as it goes very fast in these parts. Lilacs in full bloom are almost overpowering. Frogs croaking at the rain reservoir next to the Kemps building. Picking on average one tick a day off myself, the dogs are faring much better. The stuff the vet was pushing this year, given orally instead of spreaded over their coats is dear but seems to work. A big cheer to the warm season!

Heading for the weekly coffee beans. Glad to riding a bike on a night like this. Used a route that minimises traffic, worked very well. Need to bring the pedals in a little, now they are too far away. Great to be riding again!

Did not feel so great during the last two hours at work, I think something I ate for lunch was unbecoming. I thought my daily walk would be doing me well and indeed, by the time I was done, the queasy feeling in my stomach was gone. Windy and warm this afternoon, hard to believe that exactly a week ago a cold wind brought tear to my eyes. Brought the seed trays out from the basement before starting the walk.

Maiden voyage with the trike. I had forgotten that I had adjusted the pedal distance so Lynn could try it out yesterday and my knees were too bent on the way out. Adjusted it and the way back was a lot better. First impressions: downhill and on level ground I can see little difference from a road bike, uphills seem harder. but this is my first bike ride since early January so it may have to do with not having any bike legs left, either. Rode the trike right into Peggy and Joel's backyard through the narrow walkway, having one front wheel on the border stones. On the way back, I rode up the switchbacks of the pedestrian bridge at Hamline, very easy. It is very controllable. A good start.

Grey morning, but dry. Very little dew in the grass. Saw neighbor Kellie with one of her boys at the playground as I left. Rather unusual to see someone there this early. She said he had been up since 4 AM ... Glass from a broken bottle on the pedestrian bridge at Hamline, I cleaned up on the way back. Crossed golf course on the ridge, the first players just got started.
